I am reading the Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrannte (I finished My Brilliant Friend on Friday and I'm almost 200 pages into the second book now) and I have so many thoughts about complicated female friendships, loving 'ugly' places, women's fiction, etc. But my main thought is just how nice it is to pick up a book that you would have never picked yourself based on a friend's recommendation and find out that you actually really like it.

#the double pleasure of reading a good book while thinking of the friend who recommended it to you #personal #i may end up posting some of the aforementioned thoughts about the book here #it's just the more i try to plan things the less they seem to happen and i wanted to make at least one post about these books bc #i can't the remember the last time i was so sucked in by a book series #it's almost nostalgic - initially i only borrowed the first book so once i was done with it i went to the library straight after work #that same day to get the second one #it made me think of going to my local library each friday after school when i was a kid #and just feeling that same sense of excitement about bringing a new book home with me #also. the vibe of this series is completely different but the relationship between elena/lila reminds me so much of needy and jennifer #from jennifer's body
